10-20 years ago if you financially fell out of the boat, family friends or neighbors could help out of your problems. This days everything is so expensive that it’s almost impossible for others to help you out. Even if you do your utmosts best to pull yourself out of your financial problem. The smallest mistake can pull you whole down again.
So I was reading this post about the mother who trafficked her daughter because of financial reasons. Surprisingly nobody talked why she end up trafficking her own daughter for housing, shoes etc. Would the mother do the same if she could afford housing, shoes etc on her own?
I’m more curious in how we as a society could prevent all of this from happening.
We should go to the root of this problem instead placing a bandage over it. I mean her daughter had to be trafficked first before people even cared about her. A mother/father should never be uncertain about being able to have a roof over the head of her/his children.
All this article is focusing on is how the mother got Nike shoes in return. This article doesn’t care about the child, only the sensation it can create around it. The elephant in the room here is that human life standards are going downhill.
We are all talk until we end up in the same situation where you have to make decisions to survive.
This society is so fucked people don’t know the real value of life anymore.
This is not a new issue, fren. And it's not solved easily. I am the mother of four adopted kiddos whose own mother was the victim of human trafficking. And I can trace back their lineage to more of the same. It's generational, and it's ugly.
The solution comes down to having people of integrity in all the important places: case workers, judges, foster parents (for the love of God, if you can foster, do so), and legislators. So, literally, what we are doing here...waking people up to the atrocities...that is of utmost importance.
